and executed for looking at guards - as illustrations reveal cruel punishments

Prisoners held inside Assad's notorious Syrian torture chamber prison were forced to suck their own blood off the floor and rape fellow inmates.

Sednaya Prison, nicknamed the 'Human Slaughterhouse', is where huge numbers of detainees were tortured, subjected to all manner of inhumane treatments and executed.

Survivors of the Syrian hellhole have provided chilling testimonies about life behind Sednaya's bars, describing a world 'carefully designed to humiliate, degrade, sicken, starve and ultimately kill those trapped inside'.

It comes amid the downfall of Assad's government, with rebels freeing thousands of detainees in Homs while Syrians plead for their loved ones to be freed from the notorious torture chamber of Sednaya.

Assad previously denied both killing thousands of detainees at Sednaya as well as using a secret crematorium to dispose of their remains in 2017.

Many detainees have revealed they were raped while imprisoned, and in some cases, forced to rape other inmates.

Torture and severe beatings from guards were used as a regular form of punishment and degradation, often leading individuals to life-long damage, disability, and even death.

Cell floors were covered with the blood and pus from injured prisoners, according to a 2017 Amnesty report, with the corpses of dead detainees collected by prison guards at 9am each morning.

When food was delivered, it was often scattered over the cell floors by guards where it mixed with blood and dirt, forcing detainees to ingest the gruesome bodily fluids left behind by those wounded and killed.

It was also reported an iron press that was allegedly used to crush and execute prisoners in Sednaya Prison was found in new videos shared by rebels as they liberated inmates.

‘Iron press’ used ‘to crush prisoners in Assad’s “human slaughterhouse” is uncovered’ as Syrians empty hellhole underground jail
By DAVID AVERRE and EMILY JANE DAVIES

Published: 02:53 EST, 9 December 2024 | Updated: 11:06 EST, 9 December 2024

An ‘iron press’ that was allegedly used to crush and execute prisoners in Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s infamous Sednaya Prison has been revealed in new videos shared by rebels as they liberate inmates.

The notorious prison near Damascus - nicknamed the ‘Human Slaughterhouse’ - is synonymous with heinous torture, executions and human rights abuses carried out by the Assad regime, which was toppled by Syrian rebel forces this weekend.

Amnesty International claims dozens of people were secretly executed every week in Sednaya, estimating that up to 13,000 Syrians were killed between 2011 and 2016.

Footage of what appears to be some kind of large hydraulic press within the prison is yet to be verified, but tales of torture, deprivation, starvation and executions at Sednaya have been widely documented.

As if ISIS, which we funded, wasn't worse.

The terrorist group taking over is likely going to be worse, especially for the Christian population.

These false narratives to give a moral justification for evil we associate with are laughable.

All this comes out now when it must have been known beforehand. Why was this information not promulgated back then?

This is about as bad as it can get. Disgusting, depraved, immoral and inhuman bastards. Turn the prison into a cage for all of those involved, let them fend for themselves until one big fat one is left, then behead him, feed him to the dogs.

I don’t believe a single word of this article, and neither should any other Freeper. It may all be true, but we have all been lied to far too many times to believe this article or any other legacy media (C.I.A. propaganda) outlet. Whether it is weapons of mass destruction, chemical weapon attacks, yellow-cake uranium, or Russian collusion, haven’t we all been lied to so many times that we know better now? This is just another endless drumbeat to get us to needlessly sacrifice our sons and treasure on another pointless, endless war.

Somehow, largely due to the circumstances surrounding the information, I don’t believe one word of this. I’m quite sure it is no place to be, but we’ve heard all this noise before.

The excrement published by the Daily Mail about Ukraine speaks for itself why believe this.

So, apparently... the UN was A-OK with all of this (too), then. Why am I not surprised.

As an American, I’m far more concerned with the plight of the Jan 6th political prisoners. . .

It’s how propaganda works. Wait until the alphabet agency backed rebels become the new adversaries.
